VIDEO GAME CENTRAL...they are a proven scam. Don't buy sticks or ANYTHING from them!

well i’ll get to pay for mine on thursday and the seller is ok with that. also need to pick up one of those battle adapters so i can bring this thing over to my friends house who has a ps3 and a HRAP3. i just hope those VGC guys give me my money back. any of you who canceled your pre-orders get your refunds fairly quickly?

not really i got mine in 2 days. I cancelled on tuesday and got it like thursday or so. I was expecting to get it the next day. I guess 2 days is quick.

I will say this and all fairness to video game central when I placed my pre-order way back when for the TE Stick . They never did charge my credit card at all and yes I did get my comfimation by email that I had placed my order so when I canceled a week and a half ago all they did was cancel my order since no money changed hands . So I dont get why some of you got charged for your pre-order when other did not kinda strange if you ask me :looney: and I must say I love my new tournament stick works so awesome even feels like the arcade this thing is huge lol :karate:

what’s happened = what is happened?

OP doesn’t make sense.

or it means what has happened, and you’re a tool.

yeah i think it’s that.

well they charged me full price of the stick plus shipping when i pre-ordered it. so my stick is paid for from them.

Hmmmm… I don’t get why you had to pay in full and I did not .For something thats not in stock sounds illegal to me… and it Just seems strange to me that a business would do that . Because they keep telling everyone that they don’t have any but you watch this youtube video of oldskoolfool from VIDEO GAME CENTRAL with a shit load of SF4 Tournament Fight Sticks in the back ground of the video. Which is very frustrating to watch because everyone was waiting so long for one . And when you call them there like we don’t have any yet which is a lie after seeing the video . I guess there selling them on ebay or something and just screwing there customers over to make more money off the sticks . Your wasting your time waiting on a stick from VGC . You would have better luck if you canceled your order with VGC and picked one up at Amazon.com …And if you ordered say tomorrow I bet you would have it in 3 to 4 days from now =) I canceled my order with VGC and bought mine off amazon had it in 2 days . Other wise I would still be waiting for one like you not knowing if I was ever going to get one from VGC .

So glad I dodged a bullet by not ordering with them

I’m the OP and…are you kidding me? This thread has made enough sense so far to save quite a few people from ordering through a corrupt company. Stay off the thread unless you’re going to contribute or be productive.

the tournament sticks are wonderful but freaking expensive

why would a company lie to it’s customers?

Because it’s more profitable to do so? Hang onto the money from the preorders to make your books look good, sell shit on eBay for WAY more than MSRP for easy profit. They get an excuse to get a bunch in, but none ever go out 'cause they’re more valuable on eBay than retail. :bluu:

Bingo !!! It makes perfect sense what VGC has been doing after( VEIWING THE VIDEO)… is VGC being fair with it’s customers by doing something like this (HELL NO) Well with that said best advice you can get right now is to cancel your order with them and tell them to shove what ever sticks they have up there @ss lol Then head over to AMAZOM.COM and get your TE Fight Stick by next week yeah your going to pay about 20 to 40 bucks more but hey its well worth it being I have one and i must say this TE stick was worth every penny if not 20 or 40 bucks more so with that said …take this for what it is you can listen to what I’m saying or you can listen to what VIDEO GAME CENTRAL is saying the choice is yours !!!:tup:

There are TE sticks to be had at retail if you’re patient. I bought 2 at retail. Keep searching guys, forget about VGC and tell everybody how bad they suck.

Well… there out there but hard to find still because as soon as they hit the shelf there gone pretty much unless your extremely lucky. if you can be a little more so called patience then great then you (MIGHT) find one at retail . But in all fairness my so called (patience’s) has run out with Video Game Central) for good reason . Thats why I ordered mine on Amazon after a 3 month of waiting and being lied to, you kinda don’t want to wait anymore ya NO =)

I paid in full as well, I used paypal, so naturally they take it out immediately. I have since then canceled it like the other intelligent posters and got one off of amazon when they filled thier pre-orders. I got all my money back from VGC, but when I transferred the funds back to my bank account fucking paypal charged me a transfer fee.:annoy:

I say go for it if you’re willing to pay extra. Much better than dealing with VGC. WiiAlerts really does work though and they’ve been consistently sending me alerts about TE’s in the last few weeks. I got one that way and one in a local GS after asking a manager to have one from another location shipped there. It can be done. Bottom line…don’t waste time with VGC.

Well… I did paid about 40.00 bucks more then video game central for my Tournament stick on amazon… but I just found a extra Tournament stick in my area and I already have a buyer for it after I get it today. which means after the profit I make off that TE Stick… I only paid $55.00 for my Tournament Stick hell ya

I’m glad I got mine for retail off of amazon. I would have paid more though especially now since it has been so long and the Hori FS3 sucked ass so I couldn’t wait to stop using it.

how’d you get it retail? Everytime I looked it was like 80 dollars more than retail so i was like f**K that
